Almost immediately after Bankman-Fried was released on a $250 million bail, wallet activity started. Additionally, there are persistent online rumors that he is currently not in his parents' home wearing an electronic bracelet on his leg but rather somewhere in the Alameda office.
The public came to the conclusion that Curly-haired Sam was preparing a daring escape and gathering the cryptocurrency to bribe the regulators. Furthermore, similar emptying of the company's wallets was observed when Terra CEO Do Kwon vanished (by the way, where is Do Kwon now?)
And here's a rhetorical question: why did the regulators seize FTX accounts but not Alameda’s? Everyone can see that these two businesses are related because the same person managed (or, to be more precise, damaged) both of them. 
Curly-haired Sam, the former "future Rockefeller" and CEO of the bankrupt FTX exchange, has been extradited to the US from The Bahamas
However, for Sam, things got much worse as two of his main accomplices, Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang, began to testify to the feds. Due to the fact that sentences can be reduced for substantial assistance in the investigation, hopeless fraudsters decided to take advantage of this. 
FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried sponsors the Democratic Party
It will not be easy for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election: in opposition to him is one of the most eccentric and wealthy people in the crypto world, the great and terrible “Curly Sam” - the owner of the FTX exchange Sam Bankman-Fried. 
In his new post, SBF found inconsistencies in documents filed by the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell (S&C) to a Delaware court alleging that FTX US is insolvent.
S&C somehow failed to include $428 million of assets in FTX US bank accounts in the report.
As a result, SBF concluded that FTX had hundreds of millions of dollars in excess of what the exchange needed to pay its obligations to users.
Just return the money, Sam! 
Sam had previously claimed that he was left with only $100,000. Even assuming that Sam lied a little, and he did have some mad money under his pillow, his parents had to mortgage their home to satisfy the bail requirements. By the way, that's the home where Sam is going to live.
Hopefully, Sam will manage this tough task, and won't get pulled over for drunk driving in the coming months. 
FTX CEO will donate his fortune to charity
Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of investment firm Alameda Research and crypto exchange FTX, plans to donate 99% of his fortune to charity. According to the Bloomberg news agency, the youngest American billionaire will keep only 1% (at least $100,000) of his annual income for personal needs. He will direct the rest of the funds to the implementation of the goals that he considers worthy.
